A series of nitrogenand oxygen-containing macrocycles with endocyclic chiral BINAM moieties were synthesized using Pd(0)-catalyzed amination with a number of oxadiamines. Two alternative ways to such compounds were compared from 1,1’-binaphthalene-2,2’-diamine (BINAM) and N,N’-bis(3-bromophenyl) substituted oxadiamine and from N,N’-bis(bromophenyl) substituted 1,1’-binaphthalene-2,2’-diamine and free oxadiamine. Macrocycles containing benzyl and 2,7-disubstituted naphthalene fragments were also successfully synthesized via the second approach, the dependence of their yields on the nature of starting compounds was demonstrated.

Introduction

Macrocyclic compounds comprising endocyclic chiral moieties attract attention of researchers as biologically active compounds, perspective chemosensors for small chiral molecules, and ligands which can be used in enantioselective metal-catalyzed transformations. Such compounds occur in nature, among them the prominent place is occupied by macrolides, cyclic oligopeptides and cyclic

oligosaccharides. These compounds contain multiple carbon chiral centers, and the majority of optically active synthetic macrocycles possess the same type of chirality. Enough rare are synthetic macrocyclic compounds with another type of chirality, i.e. planar-chiral macrocycles,[1-3] and our previous works contributed to this field.[4,5] Also we elaborated a new type ofmacrocycles with endocyclic chiral cholane fragments. [6-9] Macrocyclic compounds containing fragments with C2 chirality are known for quite a long time, and the majority

of them possess 2,2'-binaphthol (BINOL) moiety. Some of them were reported before 1991 when a comprehensive review on all types of known macrocycles emerged.[10] As this chiral moiety possesses fluorescent properties, BINOL-based chemosensors were found to be useful for detecting optically active amino alcohols, diamines, amino acids, a-hydroxyacids.[11,12] Reported are several macrocycles containing BINOL fragment which contain also additional chiral 1,2-diamine moieties.[13,14] These compounds were synthesized via non-catalytic approaches, and in the course of our studies of the application of the catalytic amination to the synthesis of various nitrogen-containing macrocycles we decided to elaborate a general route to the macrocyclic species containing a parent chiral 1,1'-binaphthalene-2,2'-diamine (BINAM) structural units. BINAM itself possesses interesting spectral properties, and in the combination with other aromatic and heteroaromatic groups the resulting N-and O-containing receptors could be perspective as optical chemosensors for small chiral organic molecules.

Experimental

NMR spectra were registered using Bruker Avance 400 spectrometer in CDCl3 at 298 K. MALDI-TOF spectra were obtained with Bruker Autoflex II spectrometer using 1,8,9-trihydroxyan-thracene as matrix and PEGs as internal standards. Dioxa-, tri-oxa- and tetraoxadiamines 1a-e, (S)-BINAM, 1,3-dibromobenzene, 1-(bromomethyl)-3-bromobenzene, phosphine ligands BINAP, DavePhos and Xantphos, potassium carbonate, sodium tert-butox-ide, were purchased from Aldrich and used without further purification, Pd(dba)2 was synthesized according to the method described,[15] 2,7-dibromonaphthalene was obtained via known procedure.[16] Dioxane was distilled over NaOH followed by the distillation over sodium under argon, acetonitrile was distilled over CaH^ dichloro-methane and methanol were used freshly distilled. Compound 2 was synthesized according to a procedure described.[17]

Results and Discussion

As BINAM molecule contains two identical primary amino groups, to furnish a macrocyclic structure with poly-

amine chain by means of Pd(0)-catalyzed amination, one needs to introduce the aromatic spacer between nitrogen atoms of BINAM and polyamine. At first we compared two approaches for introducing such spacer, the first one employing the reaction of BINAM with N,N'-bis(bromophenyl) substituted oxadiamine, the second one using the coupling of N,N'-bis(bromophenyl) substituted binaphthalene-2,2'-diamine with free oxadiamine. According to the first method, we synthesized N,N'-di(3-bromophenyl) substituted dioxa-diamine 2 starting from dioxadiamine 1a according to the known procedure,[17] and then introduced it in the macrocy-clization reaction with (S)-BINAM using two catalytic systems: Pd(dba)2/BINAP and Pd(dba)2/DavePhos (Scheme 1). The reactions were run in boiling dioxane with equimolar amounts of the reagents (c=0.02 M) in the presence of sodium tert-butoxide taken as a base.

The target macrocycle 3a was obtained by the column chromatography on silica gel and it was found that DavePhos provided slightly better results than BINAP (43 % compared to 34 %). Here and further all compounds were isolated by column chromatography and reported yields correspond to isolated products. Using the second method, at first N,A^'-di(3-bromophenyl) substituted BINAM 4 was synthesized in 68 % yield by reacting BINAM with 2.2 equiv. 1,3-dibromobenzene in the presence of Pd(dba)2/Xantphos catalytic system (Scheme 2). The necessity to use Xantphos instead of more universal BINAP ligand is explained by a high reactivity of the amino groups in BINAM that results in the formation of a considerable amount of linear oligomers caused by the diamination of 1,3-dibromobenzene. The second macrocyclization step with dioxadiamine 1a was run using Pd(dba)2/DavePhos catalytic system and gave the target macrocycle 3a in 53 % yield (Scheme 2) what is a good result for the catalytic macrocyclization reactions. The overall yield of the macrocycle according to the first method was 21 % while in the second method it attained 36 % thus we chose it for the synthesis of other oxadiazam-acrocycles. Moreover, the chromatographic isolation of the intermediate compound 4 is much easier than that of oxadiamine derivative 2.

The reactions of other oxadiamines 3b-d differing in the number of the oxygen atoms and chain length were conducted under stated conditions and produced similar results: the yields of the macrocyclization products ranged

from 22 to 27 %, thus only the diamine with the shortest chain provided two times higher yield, probably due to a better adjustment of its two amino groups to two bromine atoms in the compound 4.

A similar approach was used for the synthesis of the macrocycles possessing two 2,7-disubstituted naphthalene moieties. The reaction of BINAM with 2.5 equiv. of 2,7-di-bromonaphthalene afforded ^,^'-di(7-bromonaphth-2-yl) derivative 5 in 52 %% yield, and this compound was introduced in the series of catalytic macrocyclization reactions with the same oxadiamines 1a-e (Scheme 3). Again the best result was obtained with the shortest oxadiamine 1a (34 % yield of the corresponding macrocycle 6a), rather good yield was also provided by another oxadiamine 1b with a longer chain, (31 % yield of 6b). However, the results with other oxadiamines were less encouraging: trioxadiamine 1d gave 15 % yield of the macrocyclization poroduct 6d, tetraoxadi-amine 1e cyclized into the target product only in 7 % yield, while trioxadiamine 6c provided corresponding macrocycle 6c only in trace amounts in the reaction mixture. We may propose the same explanation for the observing effect of the chain length as in the case with macrocycles 3, but in the reaction of oxadiamines with dinaphthyl derivative 5 this dependence is more pronounced due to a longer distance between two bromine atoms participating in the intramolecular cyclization.

In our previous works dealing with the synthesis of macrocycles by Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular diamination of dihaloarenes we found out that in many cases the substitution of the second halogen atom proceeded with difficul-

ties.[18-21] On the other hand, catalytic macrocyclization of di(bromobenzyl) derivatives afforded enough high yields. [22-25] We attempted the synthesis of N,N'-di(3-bromobenzyl) substituted BINAM by the reaction with 2 equiv. of 3-bro-mobenzyl bromide in boiling MeCN in the presence of potassium carbonate and isolated the target compound 7 in 32 % yield (Scheme 4). This modest result is explained by the inevitable formation of the side products of tetra- and tribenzylation 8 and 9, the isomeric N,N-di(3-bromobenzyl) derivative 10 and monobenzylated BINAM 11. Compounds 9 and 11 were isolated in pure state (yields 15 and 22 %), isomer 10 was obtained and characterized in the mixture with the target compound 7.

Compound 7 was introduced in the macrocyclization reaction with oxadiamines 1a,b,d, in this case Pd(dba)2/ BINAP catalytic system was applied as it was observed earlier that BINAP is more helpful for the amination reactions of bromobenzyl derivatives. As it was expected, the macrocyclization reactions proceeded more successfully than in the previous cases, and all target macrocycles 12a,b,d were obtained in 41- 45 % yields (Scheme 4). It is supposed that two factors make the reaction in this case easier: the amination of bromobenzyl moiety proceeds smoother than that of aminobromophenyl moiety, and conformational factors are more favorable in the case of bromobenzyl amination.

At the last step of our investigation we synthesized N,N'-di(3,5-dibromobenzyl) substituted BINAM 13 via a similar reaction with 3,5-dibromobenzyl bromide (Scheme 5), in this process the yield of the target product attained 76 % while

tribenzylated and monobenzylated by-products 14 and 15 were isolated in 9 and 16 %, respectively. The compound 13 was introduced in the reaction with 2 equiv. of trioxadiamine 1d using Pd(dba)2/BINAP catalytic system in view of the synthesis of macrobicyclic compound, however, only macrocycle 16 was obtained in 13 % yield. The substitution of one bromine atom in each benzyl substituent took place and

no evidence of the diamination of the phenyl ring could be received from the 'H NMR spectrum of the reaction mixture. We tried another donor phosphine ligand, RuPhos which was thought to promote diamination, and in the reaction mixture weak signals of 3,5-diaminobenzyl group were observed in NMR spectrum, but no product could be isolated by chromatography in this case.

Macrocycles Containing Endocyclic Chiral BINAM Moieties Conclusions

To sum up, we developed the catalytic approach to a previously unknown class of N- and O-containing macrocycles comprising chiral BINAM fragment. The method consists of two subsequent Pd(0)-catalyzed amination reactions - the first step is the synthesis of corresponding N,N'-di(bromoaryl) substituted BINAM, the second is Pd(0)-mediated macrocyclization with linear oxadiamines. This approach was demonstrated to be enough general for the synthesis of macrocycles possessing various aryl spacers (phenyl, benzyl and naphthalene) and oxadiamine chains. The dependence of the compounds yields on the structure of starting compounds was established. The reaction of N,N'-di(3,5-dibromobenzyl) substituted BINAM with trioxadi-amine led to substitution of one bromine atom in each benzyl moiety and formation of a similar macrocyclic compound.
